Helping Those Injured By Construction Accidents In Oxford And Elsewhere

Navigating a construction site can be dangerous, even with the proper safety equipment. People working and visiting these sites must contend with heavy mechanical equipment, unsteady scaffolds, uneven surfaces and a variety of other dangers that can lead to serious accidents. Construction sites including roadwork sites can be even more dangerous for nonworkers like pedestrians, motorcycle riders and the general public passing through the area.

When an injury occurs at a construction site, lawyers for the general contractor and subcontractors work quickly after the incident which makes it important for the injured person or family of a deceased person to contact an experienced injury attorney quickly.

At Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima, our experienced Cincinnati personal injury lawyers help injured people in Butler, Warren and Hamilton counties and throughout Ohio. We have helped many people who were injured by construction accidents and unsafe conditions on construction sites. You can contact any of our offices throughout Ohio, including Oxford and Cincinnati, to speak with a trusted member of our staff and set up your consultation.

A Stand-Out Construction Site Case Example

A traveling surgical nurse was driving through a construction site when an asphalt company incorrectly let members of the public drive on pavement that had yet to cure and harden. The surgical nurse was seriously injured because the site was not properly monitored.

We aggressively pursued the at-fault parties and our client was offered $1,000,000 settlement. A federal judge told our client that he should settle. At our urging, our client turned down the offer and we went to a summary jury trial where the damages were assessed at $15,000,000.00.

Insurance companies and corporate lawyers know our firm. They know we get great results and that we are aggressive. As a result, we routinely get settlements for clients that far exceed industry norms.

Experienced Counsel For Many Types Of Construction Accidents

Our lawyers will use their years of experience to analyze and research the circumstances of your construction accident efficiently. We have assisted clients with a variety of severe construction accidents, including those involving:

  • Head, neck, back and spine injuries
  • Collapsing scaffolding
  • Falling objects
  • Falls from heights
  • Elevator shaft accidents
  • Electrocutions
  • Exposure to chemicals and gas
  • Fires and explosions

This knowledge and close inspection of case facts allow us to determine what failures in workplace safety protocols led to your accident and who is responsible for your injuries. We will then aggressively pursue compensation from the negligent parties who failed to keep you safe.

Do Not Delay In Getting Legal Advice

Some people who are injured on construction sites worry that contacting a personal injury attorney may cause them to lose their employment or will risk their offered compensation. It is critical that you talk to a lawyer before accepting compensation from an insurance company.

A personal injury attorney can help you determine the full cost of your medical recovery and can fight for you if the insurance company refuses to give you fair compensation.
